1. The observation of Hewitt and Todd that cholesterol neutralizes the hemolytic activity of streptolysin O is confirmed.
2. The antigenicity of streptolysin O remains unchanged in cholesterol-neutralized mixtures.
3. Under similar conditions streptolysin O neutralized by its specific antibody elicits virtually no immune response to streptolysin O.
